Research shows that depressed people dream much more than non-depressed people, distorting the balance between recuperative slow-wave sleep and energy-burning dream sleep. Clearly, because they spend so much time worrying and imagining, they have far higher amounts of unexpressed arousal to discharge. With so much energy spent on all the excessive dreaming they have to do, they wake up exhausted and lacking in motivation.
It is necessary for people in depression to be helped to challenge their negative thoughts, imagine more realistic outcomes and futures and to find ways to put meaning and purpose back into their lives. This could be through exercise, team sports, doing something for other people, learning a new skill, calling up old friends, and so on. Very often, people who are depressed start to withdraw from their usual routines, stopping going out or phoning or seeing friends, and this makes them dwell on their misery even more. It is essential, therefore, that they are helped to start meeting their emotional needs again, in healthy and satisfying ways. If the depression is due to post-traumatic stress, it is also necessary to stop the traumatic memory from continuing to interfere with life in the present. The rewind technique, a simple, non-invasive method of detraumatisation that all human givens practitioners learn, can achieve this quickly.
Dwelling on and digging up the past is dangerous. Neuropsychological research has shown that this has a physical effect on the brain, strengthening the neuronal connections with misery and negative thinking. We get better at piano or football with practice and, unfortunately, we get better at depression with practice too! So, it really is important to think to the future instead – to learn to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, take back control, find ways to bring meaning and purpose back into life and to look forward with hope.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Sleep is a building block of our mental and physical health- and when it is hard to get to sleep, stay asleep or have deep restful sleep, our our minds and bodies can go into shutdown, panic or distress. I've dedicated a large part of my professional life to understanding what makes for healthy sleep and how to heal broken or interrupted sleep. You can find the two books I've published by searching 'Lisa Sanfilippo and Sleep Recovery' which you can find on Amazon and at good book shops. I often work with people primarily on their sleep, and we find that this can change dramatically in a few weeks, and that longer term deep change can involve understanding physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of ourselves. When we bring balance back in these areas, we start to sleep better and feel more alive, alert and happier. I am happy to work with people from all age groups, and I have a keen understanding of how our life stage affects our sleep, including post-50, menopause/perimenopause.

Hypnotherapist, FNCIP SQHP
Sleep disorder work focuses on understanding how stress, anxiety, and nervous system regulation affect rest. I support people in developing steadier emotional states that make sleep feel more accessible. Sessions explore patterns that interfere with sleep without pressure or forcing change.

Oxford is home to one of the world's oldest and most prestigious universities, and the mental health landscape of the city is shaped as much by this as by anything else—the intense academic pressure of university life, the sharp 'town and gown' economic divide, and some of the highest housing costs of any mid-sized city in England. NHS mental health services are delivered through Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, and the city has a well-developed private therapy sector serving both the university community and permanent residents. Common therapy concerns include academic stress and perfectionism among students and faculty, anxiety, identity and life transitions, and the challenges of living in a city where economic inequality between university-connected and local working communities is stark. Many therapists in Oxford work with both the international and expat population—drawn by the university—and long-term local residents navigating a rapidly changing and expensive city.
